22 Feb 2024 – Abalones And MeePok

Mon: Feb has so far been busy and at this stage in life rather taxing on both the mental&physcial, mind&body. A good night sleep&rest last night helped – has been a long while ago since day or night without coughing. Taking today&tomorrow to reset for whatever needed to move forward, but still procrastinating with paperworks! Appreciations to Mun&SK for this, not a fan of abalones, but tried these mini abalones yesterday and thought them to be rather good&tender. A 2024-Gilded–Lucky-Charm landed on my lap from the LionDance on the 1stCNY-day.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost – from my favourite Tolkien poem

Abalones bring back a funny memory from a Mar2017Perth/Australia trip where there was a RunawayAbalone – for real, hahaha! Perth 2017/2 – Here-There-Everywhere – This-That-Everything (amylamsg.com)

Tue: good Tue-morning – grocery&fresh produce shopping@Giant&MarineC-WetMarket. Looking forward to the soon-opening of the MT-MRT-station and the completions for the redeco to these facilities.

Welcome to those attending 2024 Air Show – will be missing niece Yasmine&family for this event this year! Protectors of our skies, and other airborne marvels at Singapore Airshow 2024, Lifestyle News – AsiaOne

Tkx to EdgarO for his share of BakChorMee&KoloMee – pix credits to LeslieTay&EdgarOng

Bak chor mee is to Singapore as kolo mee is to us. It seems that it’s problematic nowadays to find anyone selling a nice bowl of it on the small red dot! Luckily for us, I don’t seem to encounter much difficulties in locating good old fashioned kolo mee in Kuching!

Like both BC-Mee&Sarawak-KoloMee and agreeing w LeslieTay Facebook that it not easy to find really good BC-Mee, many places have decent OK ones. Here in SIN/EastSide, my recommendation will be 132 MeePokKwayTeow, 59MarineTerrace.
Most memorable Sarawak-KL-Mee for me was 2011 in Sibu, costing about 1MYR then.

Wed: pix&research for 5TemenggongRd have now been requested, a reminder again that IstanaLama/TelokBlangah(pix downloaded) is NOT the same building as #5. Istana then(now HabourLightsCondo) was demolished in 1954 and #5 then (now still a lovely piece of undisturbed Greenery) was demolished sometime in 1970s.

Feeling more normal without coughing for 3days straight after months of coughing. Now with more energy to run errands@Bedok&Bugis and still able to drop by to Rochalie to say hi to Ivy who is now walking slowly but surely. Thank you for these most delicious juicy cherries that I have ever tasted.

Appreciations to PP for the warning about using KetotopPatches in combination with blood-thinner meds. Looks like Paracetamol/Panadol&Tylenol are the only way for my painful joints&muscles – blessed to have such caring medical friends.

Thu: cleaning&scrubbing pots&pans, working up a sweat to rid as much toxin as possible. Balancing accounts, paying&updating bills to not be in the red, appts penciled&penned into planner, tickets booked&paid for SIN-CAE-SIN/US$1,330.75S$1,850.58(dep SIN Mon29Apr2024). Consider this a healthy productive day before another busy social weekend ahead.
